New PlayStation 4 owners report issues with account creation

Sony’s PlayStation Network allows players access to a ton of features that make the PlayStation 4 experience better and bigger overall. Recently, Sony’s account service has begun experiencing problems through its servers. Unlike issues which other online gaming services are experiencing as of the moment, the problem with Sony’s PSN is small but are a nuisance to some customers.

Several gamers took their sentiments online as many have reported to have been unable to create and log in the PlayStation Network on Christmas. The gamers then flooded the Twitter account of PlayStation for an explanation regarding the issue which is currently still experienced by some. Sony has responded to the issue assuring gamers that it is aware of the problem and is currently looking for a fix.

“We're aware that new PSN account validation and Password reset emails are delayed. Thanks for your patience as we resolve this issue,” said PlayStation on its Twitter account.

Since Christmas, many households worldwide now have access to new PlayStation 4 controls. With the console being the current frontrunner in terms of sales, it’s no surprise that many more now own the console. The problem with the PlayStation Network now is that owners are having a tough time creating accounts, most are barred from receiving the confirmation email. Without the account, owners can’t proceed with using the PlayStation 4.

As of now Sony did not say what is causing the problem. Gamespot reports that the massive number of new PlayStation 4 owners may have caused the servers to jam up resulting in several users stuck in certain parts of the console.

PlayStation Network accounts are required to access a lot of content for the PlayStation 4. The features include access to the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Plus and online connectivity with games.
